Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Daughter: Not to be Trifled With

On the day of the embroidery competition, the Qingya Garden of the Liu family mansion was filled with all the maids and servants of the Su family.

Among the maids who came to participate in the competition, some were very young, some were relatively young, some were quite old, and there were even some nannies.

The maids looked at each other, completely bewildered. What kind of competition was this? The contestants' skill levels were so uneven, the differences were too vast, it was impossible to hold a competition!

These young maids, though with good eyesight, were not very skilled at embroidery; while some of the older maids and nannies, though skilled, had poor eyesight, some even seeing things blurry, making it difficult for them to thread the needle or draw the thread properly, let alone complete an embroidery competition independently.

Outside Qingya Garden, the maids stood together and discussed, "Hmm, I really don't understand, why would Madam suddenly decide to hold this embroidery competition?"

Some of the maids, upon hearing this, whispered in agreement, "Yes! We really don't understand what Madam's intention is in holding this embroidery competition."

After hearing this, a very young maid looked at the maids of all ages around her, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Alas, it's one thing for Madam to call on the younger ones to participate in the embroidery competition, but she also called on some of the older maids to participate in this embroidery competition."

"Do you think these old women can still see? I don't know what Madam was thinking, arranging for them to participate in the competition."

“Even if we win against those old women, it won’t be a glorious victory! Otherwise, others will say we’re bullying the elderly.”

After the very young maid finished speaking, she smiled at the other maids.

Upon hearing this, the maids looked at the young maid who was still smiling and were all speechless with emotion! They didn't know how to respond to what this seemingly very young maid had said.

At this moment, a nanny with particularly sharp eyes stepped forward from the crowd.

The old woman looked coldly at the young maid who was still laughing after saying those words, and said with a sneer, "Yes! We old women are too old to compete with you young people."

The surrounding maids, seeing this, glanced at the old woman who had spoken and advised, "Old woman, that maid is young and doesn't know any better. Please don't take it to heart. It's not worth hurting your feelings with her words!"

After hearing this, the old woman who had spoken looked at the maids around her who were trying to persuade her, and her expression softened slightly.

Then, she looked at the young maid who had spoken and said coldly, "We old women were young once too. Our embroidery skills are much better than yours!"

"His experience is far greater than yours, something you young people can never match."

Upon hearing this, the very young maidservant immediately lowered her head in shame.

Immediately, the young maid looked at the old woman who had spoken and said apologetically, "Old woman, I'm sorry! I didn't think things through when I spoke. Please don't take offense!"

At this moment, the maids around her saw this and tried to persuade the old woman who looked unwell, "Old woman, look, that little maid has apologized to you. She has realized her mistake. Please forgive her this time!"

After hearing this, the old woman glanced at the maids around her who were trying to persuade her, then at the young maid who had spoken, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Very well! Very well! I will reluctantly forgive you, you straightforward young woman!"

Then, the old woman looked at the maid and said leisurely, "Young man, I'm going to have a good embroidery competition with you later. Since you're so confident, you'd better show your true skills and have a good competition with this old woman! Are you willing to accept my challenge?"

After hearing this, the young maid paused, looked at the old woman, smiled, and replied in a low voice, "Old woman, this servant Xin'er is willing to accept your challenge! Old woman, can you handle it?"

The young maid named Xin'er smiled at the old woman after she finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, the old woman looked at Xin'er and said defiantly, "Xin'er, is that right? I won't let you have your way, so bring it on!"

At this moment, an elderly nanny looked at the nanny who had spoken and tentatively asked, "Nanny, are you Granny Ye from the palace?"

At this moment, the old woman looked at the old woman who had spoken, said nothing, and simply nodded.

At this moment, the other maids looked at the elderly nanny with suspicion and asked, puzzled, "Could it be that this Granny Ye has an unusual background?"

The elderly nanny glanced at the other maids, paused, and then spoke softly, "This Granny Ye is indeed no ordinary person. When she was young, she was a first-class embroiderer in the palace, responsible for making clothes for noble ladies."

"When it was time for Granny Ye to be released from the palace, our late Madam wanted to set up an embroidery workshop, so she went to invite Granny Ye several times, which finally moved Granny Ye."

“Look, I was once a student of Granny Ye. Even basic things like how to thread a needle were taught to me very carefully by Granny Ye.”

"Granny Ye is particularly meticulous and strives for perfection when it comes to embroidery. She will patiently revise it again and again if there is even the slightest problem."

After hearing this, the other older nannies paused for a moment and then chimed in, "We were all taught by Granny Ye back then. Granny Ye's embroidery skills are probably unmatched in the manor, no, perhaps even in the world!"

After hearing this, the woman named Granny Ye paused, looked at the other women who were talking, and said shyly, "Sisters, please don't praise me so much, it makes me a little embarrassed! Actually, I'm not as amazing as you all say, I just learned embroidery a few more years than you!"

At this moment, the old women looked at Granny Ye, smiled, and whispered, "Granny Ye, no, Teacher Ye, please don't be modest!"

Then, the old women looked at the young maid named Xin'er and whispered, "Xin'er, you're so lucky! You can compete in embroidery with such a skilled embroidery master, and you can even learn a thing or two from Granny Ye."

"You'd better behave yourself, little girl. Maybe Granny Ye will be so pleased that she'll take you on as her little apprentice!"

After hearing this, Xin'er paused, looked at the old women who were talking, and said shyly, "Old women, why didn't you tell me that Granny Ye is very good at embroidery?"

After hearing this, the old women paused, looked at Xin'er, smiled, and said, "Xin'er, we only just realized that it was Granny Ye!"

Xin'er glanced at Granny Ye and couldn't help but think to herself, "Oh dear, trying to act like an expert in front of a professional, what a huge embarrassment!"

Granny Ye looked at Xin'er, smiled, and said softly, "Xin'er, are you scared already? Just compete with me properly, don't feel pressured!"

After hearing this, Xin'er looked at Granny Ye and nodded heavily.
